ABOUT JOHN PRUITT
Building the future of AI-native databases.I\'m a Staff Engineer at Timescale, leading the intersection of AI and database technology. Over the past two years, I\'ve architected next-generation AI database solutions, including pgvectorscale benchmarking, the pgai PostgreSQL extension, vectorization tools, text-to-SQL implementations with custom eval suites, a Slack-native agentic bot powered by MCP servers, and novel Agentic Memory engines.Why this matters: I combine 23 years of professional software engineering and relational database expertise (focusing on PostgreSQL) with hands-on AI experience. I believe the database layer is where real AI innovation happens—making AI performant, reliable, and accessible through solid data foundations.Track record: I\'ve successfully led teams (2-15 people) to deliver complex technical solutions. I thrive on tight timelines and turning ambitious technical visions into shipped products.
